Superficial clot after collecting blood
I ordered home collection for blood sample ,as procedure was smooth n no bleed also after procedure n phlebotomist applied handiplast .
Next day when handiplast was removed , superficial clot was seen over cubital fossa region . No pain n no swelling no warmth over tat region, absolutely fine , just discoloration or clot is seen .
Is this normal or I should be concerned about some clotting disorder (I have long standing varicose veins).
What's the treatment for this?
Planning to take covid vaccination ,plz suggest .
